With cloud storage solutions becoming increasingly popular these days, we're using things like flash drives less and less. However, local storage does still have its place, and USB flash drives can come in handy when you're not connected to the Internet. As part of Amazon's Deal of the Day, 64GB and 128GB models of Samsung's USB Type-C 3.1 flash drives are just $23.99 and $42.99, respectively.

As far as flash drives go, these are some of the best you can get. These have a Type-C connector, making them perfect for use with your smartphone (or even your laptop), and its USB 3.1 tech allows for transfer speeds of up to 150MB/s. The sleek shell is also water, temperature, x-ray, shock, and magnet resistant. A 5-year warranty is bundled in for your peace of mind.

The 64GB drive is only $23.99 ($6 off), and the 128GB is $42.99 ($12 off). The former only comes in blue, and the latter only in black. You can get free one-day shipping if you're an Amazon Prime member. You have until the end of the day to pick one up; as of publishing time, that means you have a little over 12 hours remaining. You can view the rest of today's Amazon deals here.

I bought that one when I got my Pixel, it's got possibly the best combination of write/read speeds (at least compared to everything else I found back in Dec) and it's small; but that silicon holder thing isn't much less awkward than a cap.

There's a Transcend that seemed a little better designed but had slower write speeds, bought it and haven't even tried it out (was gonna gift it but eh). This Samsung seems bigger but I might bite if it's got appreciably faster write speeds...

Tho at some point if going larger/faster you're better off with a regular Type A drive and an adapter/dongle, unless you've gone all in w/Type C and don't care about interoperability anywhere.

Hey Google, know what's even more useful... devices with microSD card slots... Especially when you can now get one in a whooping 400GB capacity!

Just a suggestion/hint/reminder for next year's Pixel Nexus XL (or whatever your going to call next year's special 10th anniversary of Android phone)...
